Re: Bent pushrods?
The only way I know of pushrods bending is from a timing chain jumping.When they get bent it`s a clackity-clack sound,very loud.An badly stretched timing chain will make a ticking sound from slapping the timing cover,mostly at idle and when letting off the throttle.This will cause a bit of a timing lag and make a mostor run rougher.That`s what I suspect you may have.If you don`t fix it you will end up with bent pushrods and maybe valve stems when the chain hops a tooth.Depends on how much load is on the motor when it happens.
